The complete well-tempered clavier

Description

Three centuries ago, Johann Sebastian Bach combined his incomparable knowledge of counterpoint and his inexhaustible imagination to create forty-eight pairs of preludes and fugues in all keys. His revolutionary keyboard pieces, gathered in the two volumes of The Well-Tempered Clavier, stand among the towering monuments of the Western arts. The Franco-American pianist from Paris and Chicago, George Lepauw, was compelled to record the complete preludes and fugues in his desire to become a more complete musician and a better human being. But first, in the winter of 2017, Lepauw traveled in Bach’s footsteps, retracing the arc of the composer’s life from his birthplace in Eisenach to his grave in Leipzig, in order to feel more connected to the man behind the name Bach. He returned to Germany six months later to record The Well-Tempered Clavier at Weimar’s Jakobskirche, a church well known to Bach and near the place where he had served the dukes of Saxe-Weimar and was briefly imprisoned by his aristocratic masters for disobedience.
